I shot a guided mountain biking tour with my good friends at COG Wild last weekend. The group of 12 was made up of a a couple locals that lived around Oregon and a group 5 Canadians. They were treated to three days of single track ranging from high alpine loops to downhill shuttles, while putting in 15-30 miles a day lunch is provided and at the end of the day the crew was dropped at a different brewery for a tour, some beers and dinner.
Working with COG has been an awesome opportunity to explore my home state in a new fashion. Never had I been mtb'n on Mt Hood as my summers on Hood have been spent on the glacier since I was in middle school.
The shoot was a challenge in that I had never been on the trails (or scouted) so it was super run (literally) and gun. I biked to a couple spots but mostly hiked with my gear. Shot mostly 1080/60i with a little 720/30 just to play with. Edited/color corrected in Adobe Premiere CS5.

Recently I shot at The Happy Girls Half Marathon and 5k presented by Lay it Out Events in Bend Oregon. The beneficiary was The Kids Center of Bend, that is a treatment, evaluation and prevention center that works with victims of child abuse. Day one featured a vendor showcase and Little Kids run. Kids came to run, play and even do some yoga. Even the less than ideal (and non-typical) Memorial Day weather didn't stop the fun.
Day two brought sunny weather and a ton of "Happy Girls" out for the half marathon and 5k. I dodged traffic, bushwhacked through manzanita fields and circled the course than ran throughout Bends west side trail system. a big thanks to the crew at lay it Out for putting on the event and I definitely look forward to shooting more of their events in the future.
Last week I had my first opportunity to shoot some stock footage of Central Oregon nature and mountain biking with Sunriver Resort and COG Wild. Two mornings of sunrise shoots gave me a great set of footage and I am excited to show my proofs in the coming weeks. I also shot a bike tour with COG Wild in Sunriver and that video is nearly complete.
until next time,
Jim

Taking it to The Next Level . . . .
This spring/summer has been fantastic, sunshine in Monterey CA and feet of snow at Hood got me going. I traveled to Cali with the crew at Cog Wild Bike Shuttles to work/shred/film at Sea Otter. Got to see some friends, met some new friends and experienced Sea Otter to it's fullest.
I took on a lot this winter with a new position at Blackstrap Industries as their NW Sales Rep and Team manager. I got to shoot with some great talent, met new kids trying to push the sport and began developing our team to include some young up and comers, as well as established regional riders. Continuing with my seasonal webisode series "Bachelor Fun" I got to film with some guys that ive know for a few years and brought some new faces to the crew.
As far as my own production company (Green Slope Media) I shot a number of events: Bonezone Banked Slalom, Green LUck Pre-Funk, and the Happy Girls Half Marathon and 5k. included are a couple edits from those events, the HGHM is just the course preview as the final video has not been cut just yet.
Gonna have some new film projects coming out this year and some big announcements in the coming weeks.

The Winter of 2011
Wow, another season of deep pow, great friends, new opportunities and . . . graduating from college. Since my last entry I have been filming and editing a ton, with a group of great shreds. I have published a few Bachelor Fun Webisodes (9 produced in 2009/10). Bachelor Fun is a way I like to relax with filming and editing, never made a dime from it, but it's what i love to produce.
Green Slope Media has had a great season, filming athlete promos (Ravi Drugan: Ninkasi Brewing), covering a wide spectrum of events (rail jams, pottery showcases, comedy etc.) and even getting on snow a day or two (Bonezone Banked Slalom), filming and editing sporting events has always been my first passion.
I'm also still working at Visit Bend and will be down working at Sea Otter next week in Monterey CA. Ill be hanging out at the COG Wild tent, chatting Bend up as a bike destination for tourism. Hope to film some down there with the COG crew and enjoy the atmosphere. At Visit bend i was fortunate enough to work support with Pete Alport while shooting regional tourism destination commercials for 2011. Setting up zip lines, carrying (literally) a jib crane into the backcountry and learning a ton were daily operations and I really had my eyes opened to how a pro works in the field, thanks Pete!
My newest work has been writing for my good friend Jayson Badgley at Insight Skiing, I write about media producers in the snow sports industry. A new challenge and enjoyable way to work. Check out my article on oregon based media producers Cameron Fair and Tyler Roemer, as well as Jays freshest article from SIA (and our nect issue due out in a few months.
haha there is so much more going on in my life, but that's the highlight reel (in video form). I graduate in June from OSU with a BS in Tourism, I have been selling for Blackstrap Industries (BsBrand.com) and the summer looks to be promising in all aspects . . .
Much Love

Another 100 on Hill and New Perspectives: My 365, of 2010
Wow, with another year behind us it’s getting hard to believe the pace of life these days. I'm proud to say that in 5 of the last 6 years of my life I have spent over 100 days out of each year sitting on chairlifts, touring and hiking for pow and chilling with some of my favorite people ever, in the mountains skiing and snowboarding. The last 352 days have been spent at Mt Bachelor, Hoodoo and Mt Hood. Filming, riding pow, tuning skis and being with my friends have kept me on snow on a regular basis and healthy.
One of my favorite edits, shot in a single day of hot laps with some of the guys I gotten to film with on a regular basis for a couple seasons now. I think this is the only park edit I was in front of the lens for (except the last one, where i got knocked out). The best parts about this edit is the fact that we filmed the whole thing in a single day, it was my first edit of 2010 and . . . it was my birthday.

I've also had the opportunity to work with a very talented up a coming skateboarder here in Central Oregon. I filmed with 8 year old James Stewart for 6 sessions to put together some raw footage for him to use as promo footage. With all the footage I edited up this clip as a sample for my own portfolio and the Truck Stop Skate Park, here in Bend Oregon. James is definitely the future of skateboarding, super motivated, versatile in his skating and a perfectionist (yea at 8 years old). He skates transitions fast and with style, while charging on the street as well. James would show up to the sessions with a trick list in mind and just go to work, there was one trick that James tried well over 80 (probably a low-ball guess) times over 2 sessions to no avail, but he got up time after time and never came away empty handed.

2011 is coming, I will conclude my 7 year conquest through college academia (with a 3.1 GPA, a Bachelors in Tourism and Rec and over 600 days on snow), I'll have a business (tentatively) and I'm going to have a new freaking camera in March. Not sure if this will be my last edit of 2010 but here you go, I'll 'see ya in da mountains, eh?'

My new years resolution: to get after it, in all aspects of my life, and keep this blog up to date. Thank you to everyone who has kept me motivated to succeed; my parents, girlfriend and friends.

The First of Many
Greetings friends:
This is really just a test of my blog but i wanted to start it off right. Born and raised in Oregon, Colorado lover and Bend resident for over 3 years now, I've had ups and downs, tons of pow, late nights at Hoodoo, and met/lost some of the most amazing people ever. As of recent, i have been focusing my efforts on producing promotional videos for events, companies and really any local interested. This first clip i produced at the Wildfire Pottery Showcase in Bend a few weeks back. Pete is an amazing artist/potter/professional/host and I like to think his innovation in his art is similar to the innovation i look for in media production. Pete greeted me with open arms and this short segment does not do justice to his ability as an artist, but it was all time allotted for. I hope this blog gives me a venue to showcase what i can do in various media aspects including print, cinematography, as an athlete, and through social media development and management . . . But most of all i hope you enjoy the life and times of yours truly . . . . . Within this blog you can check the ski report at Mt Bachelor, watch some local level skate/snow/MTB talent, recap events, hire a marketing/media entrepreneur (wink wink) and enjoy the products of my high paced, snow loving, behind the lens, lifestyle. (Check out my links, portfolios and Facebook for updates!)
Either way, without further a-due, from Bend Oregon, owner and potter of Pottery by Peter, Mr Pete Roussel
